Olivia Lipari went 2-for-3 and drove in two runs on a home run in the fifth. Camryn Cernuto was 2-for-4 and scored two runs. After falling behind 8-2, the Mocs put together a four-run fifth to pull to within two runs, but the Spartans struck back in the top of the seventh, adding six runs to secure the win.
Â
The Spartans got the scoring started early with three runs in the first. With one out, UNCG loaded the bases with a single, double and a walk and drove in a pair of runs on a single to right center leaving a runner at third. Peja Goold got her second strikeout of the inning, but a passed ball scored the runner from third for a 3-0 lead through half an inning.
Â
The Mocs got a run back in the bottom of the inning. Kailey Snell reached on a single to left field and stole second. Olivia Lipari hit to third, but the throw to first was wide, scoring Snell and putting Lipari on second.
Â
UNCG added four more in the third on a solo shot and a three-run blast to center field to make it a 7-1 game.
Â
Camryn Cernuto led off the third with a single and reached third on a single by Lipari. She raced home on a bloop hit into shallow left by Acelynn Sellers to make it a 7-1 game.
Â
UNCG added a run in the fourth and the Mocs put up four in the bottom of the fifth. Cernuto, once again, led off the inning with a single. She stole second and was sent home on a two-run shot over the right field fence by Lipari to cut the Spartan lead in half at 8-4.
Â
An error, a single and a walk loaded the bases for the Mocs. Abi Bunt came in to pinch hit for Zoe Wright and drove in a run on a hit by pitch. Mia Leone pinch hit for Kailey Snell and another run scored with a second straight hit by pitch to pull Chattanooga to within
 two runs at 8-6.
Â
UNCG added six runs in the top of the seventh to stretch the lead to 14-6 on a single, double and two home runs.
